SHOULD WOMEN ASPIRE TO BE WHAT THEY HEAR ON SPORTSRADIO?

Unlike too many other places today, young women in the United States are assured by adults – and by what they see, hear and read in the media – that they are the intellectual equals of men and that if qualified for a job they will be given the same consideration, under law, as a man.

While women have made substantial progress in their quest for equal opportunity with men, there remains certain high-profile occupations in the United States to which females need not apply.

One such male domain – based on hiring statistics – is the daily, sportsradio talkshow host.

As you can see for yourself, of the 47 total host positions, 45 are manned by men.

That the 35 national sports radio shows that air weekdays across the United States of America in 2019 includes just two women in hosting roles is particularly striking – and troubling – when one considers how those same networks have succeeded in transforming commercial spectactor sports into a cultural force occupying the daily lives of Americans like never before.
